Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I got at it, and got one of the little quilts done this afternoon and I'll post it over in the pictures section for you. The only ditching I did was the outside border. Yay!! Kathy

I mainly FMQ all over, no pattern. I think it is harder on the machine and I know it uses lots more thread. I just finished three I SITD, some shows, some don't. I figure they will be warm anyway.I really prefer to just sew about 1/4" from the seams, looks neater to me. Thought I would see how easy it would be, not really.
I am making quilts from scraps to donate and trying to improve my skills at the same time.

It is fine not to. I do preemie donation quilts and often the only ditch stitching I do is on the inside of the border or sashing if at all. I also aim to keep the stitching to a minimum so as to keep the little quilts soft and flexible.
